So, in other words, "No". I had already ctrl+f'd the Shawcross review document for specific titles referenced by Murray and others, and nothing was listed.

The more I read about this, the more it feels like far-right circles are seizing on your highlighted point and adding their own "details" (eg, Murray naming specific books), or spin, to push a narrative that supports them.

1. Give me an example of this set "historic works of the Western philosophic and literary canon," or do you think the set is a null set?

2. This is a common pattern in left wing propaganda I have seen play out. Example:

  Propagandist: “Plain bellied sneetches are bad"    
  Mary, the plain bellied sneetch: Am I bad?     
  Propagandist: Lol, show me where I mentioned "Mary" is bad. Plain bellied sneetches are always eager to jump to conclusions! lol.
